Federico Babina Renders Starchitects In 8-Bit

The architecture practice can sometimes be a bit of a game—what with all the endless bidding on competitions and strategic geographic conquering. All the more reason why these 8-bit digi-portraits of starchitects are so appropriate.

Bolgnese architect and designer Federico Babina has made these succinct caricatures, called “Archipix,” of architects with their signature buildings. The regulars are all here—Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel—as well as a few golden oldies.

Although we haven’t decided whether this will be best for the new version of "Space Invaders" or perhaps "Street Fighter," we do know that we already have our fav characters. Which starchitect would you be?

If you are a fan of architecture, digital design, typography, and GIFs — the undisputed darlings of online artistry — then you are in for a real treat. Creative firm Deepblue Networks recently collaborated with illustrator Florian Schommer on a marketing campaign for their website, transforming their logo into gigantic letter-shaped buildings — crisp axons worthy of, say, Chris Ware — inhabited by the company’s employees getting up to all kinds of merry mischief. Each letter corresponds to a department within the company, including art direction, copywriting, interaction design, and motion graphics. The clean-cut aesthetic belies the level of detail: a perceptive eye should be able to pick out a rooftop bat signal, a talented juggler, a boxing match with an alien, a daredevil skateboarder, and a fearless free climber. Meanwhile, the firm’s website is supremely simple, allowing the GIFs to take center stage alongside a light-hearted description of each department’s creative superpowers within the company. These animations must sit along side Federico Babina’s viral sensation ‘Archibet City’ ...

Mondrian, Lichtenstein, and Serra Reincarnated as Architects

Federico Babina, apparently a devotee of art and architecture history, keeps returning with on-point illustrations that will charm any archiphile. His series, Archist, focuses on famous artists throughout history—and what may have happened had they tried their hand at architecture. Art and architecture have long been intimately tied, and it’s easy to see how some art can be experienced as mini architecture and how some buildings can double as art. These illustrations skillfully translate the style of artists' most iconic works, suggesting what it might be like to live in a painting. All images via Federico Babina. "Art and architecture are disciplines that speak and lightly touch each other,” writes Babina on his website. "The definition and function of architecture is changing constantly with the development of contemporary art." From Rothko’s hyper-minimal townhouse to Picasso’s postmodern jumble and Tony Smith’s building that oddly resembles OMA’s CCTV tower, these illustrations makes us wish these fictional buildings were real. But alas, we will have to just enjoy them in two dimensions—via posters or Babina’s upcoming book of illustrations. ...

Lu Xinjian Tracks Your City's DNA

Artist Lu Xinjian's dynamic jumbles of lines, squiggles, and circles look like a Pac-Man landscape gone completely awry. But they aren't as haphazard or random as you might think. Indeed, these acrylic paintings—part of a series called “City DNA”—follow the contours and crevices of some of the most well-known metropolises in the world. Lu starts each of these City DNAs by tracing a Google Earth map. She then cuts stencils of her tracings with a plotter so that the images can then be transferred to canvas. Even with this technique, copying such minute details is painstaking. Furthermore, each pattern and color-scheme is particular to that individual city, taking cues from the country’s flag and from deviations in urban form. New York, Beijing, Munich, Antwerp, Athens, Basel, and Los Angeles are some of the cities that Lu has simplified in this fashion, and she's constantly producing new works. Can you guess the cities portrayed in the following paintings? London Olympic Park Wimbledon The Triumph of New York London Port of LA Pu Dong / Lu Jia Zui ...

Tineke Meirink Shows Us There Is No Such Thing As Boring Architecture

There is whimsy even in the mundane—sometimes it just takes an illustrator’s eye to show us. In her ongoing Stop:Watch series, artist Tineke Meirink takes photos of her day-to-day surroundings and then digitally doodles over top to show us how she really sees them. Describing her series as a way of “taking a closer look,” Meirink clearly finds amusement all around. Meirink's portraits often focus on the built environment, and she has a knack for reimagining architectural moments. She infuses overlooked and unappreciated features with life, bringing out their potential in her alternate reality. We can only begin to imagine how awesome she is at cloud-staring. Tineke Meirink has been an illustrator for 15 years and is especially interested in work for young children, specializing not only in digital work, but also print media and more tactile materials like felt and wood. Stop:Watch is regularly updated on the blog of the same name, and was recently printed as a memory-game called “Can You See What I See.” {% ...

What Does Your City Taste Like?

Ever wondered what your city tastes like? Or maybe what drink pairing would bring out the full architectural richness of the One World Trade Center? Dublin-based design team me&amp;him&amp;you recently released a series of screen prints imagining just that. Covering eight major cities so far (and counting), the illustrations distill each location down to three architectural icons and a single drink, an ideal summary for the minimalist traveller in all of us. The multi-talented design firm was started in 2010 by Ronan Dillon and Peter O’Gara, and has since completed projects spanning from spaces to posters to apps. This latest project was inspired by family and friends that dispersed across the globe and whom the team were lucky enough to visit. Curiously, the visual layout of the prints put architecture and drinks on the same scale. Perhaps mixologists are indeed architects in their own right. All images courtesy of me&amp;him&amp;you.

Cult Movies, Summed Up In Architecture

With the ability to create atmosphere, architecture is, naturally, heavily ingrained in the world of film. Spaces—whether a spooky cabin, a looming concrete building, or a whimsically decorated children's room—can establish character and evoke a specific mood or timbre, injecting a scene with psychology and narrative depth—all without the use of a script. Graphic designer Federico Babina (the creator of those oh-so-adorable 8-bit starchitect portraits) harnesses this unique cinematic power in a new series of illustrations, Archicine. Creating portraits of movies based on their scenery, the designers turns the houses into the protagonists of their own films. Which makes sense. After all, what would Moonrise Kingdom be without its storybook red house? Or how different would A Single Man be without George’s slick modernist abode? See how much of a cinephile you really are with these cinematic residences below. All images courtesy of Federico Babina. Want more architecture + movies?
